STEUBEN Art Glass CRYSTAL Large “Heritage Lotus” Vase 10” 1940s George Thompson

Description

This stunning mid century modern art glass vase was designed by George Thompson for Steuben in 1942.
It measures 9 7/8” tall and 5 1/2” in diameter across the top
It is signed/ engraved “Steuben” across the center of the bottom of the vase
The vase is in the coveted and timeless “Heritage Lotus” pattern
George Thompson (American 1913-1981) introduced his Lotus vase
shape 7914 in 1942
This vase dates late 1940s to early 1950s - before it was discontinued by Steuben
Condition is excellent vintage with no chips or cracks. There are very minimal minute fine surface scratches and a 1/4” fine diagonal rub mark on the body of the vase.  I have positioned the rub mark in the center of photo #3 with a darker marble tile behind it.
The non-visible bottom has surface scratching surrounding the signature. None of these detract from the beauty and value of this gorgeous piece & none are visible with the naked eye unless examining the vase carefully.
It will display beautifully!
Treat yourself of someone special to this beauty.
You will love it!!
